Help converting a Windows based php website to Linux

New Member Joined: Jan 02, 2008 Posts: 3

I have a website that is currently hosted on a Windows based server. I need help converting it to a Linux based server. Can anyone help?

The php info on the Windows based server are shown here...

PHP Version 4.4.7

The php info on the Linux based server are shown here...

PHP Version 5.2.5

This website also uses a mysql database.

Thank you in advance.

Sorry, it's late and I don't have time to respond fully but I took the phpinfo() information out of that post. I doubt the info from your local windows server could do any harm but the one from your linux shared host should probably not be posted openly and if you have the program that produced it sitting on your host you should probably remove it.

Generally there is not much difference from a Nuke Administrators perspective between a Windows and *nix server. Most of us go back and forth each day. The PHP files are the same and the MYSQL stuff is too. You can use phpmyadmin on both.

We have tried everything to switch this over, but we cant get it to run proper. We really need some help from someone that knows a lot about php.

What happens when you move things over? We need some more details, error message, anything?

This is the website in question, so that you can see what I am referring to.
[ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ] is the existing site hosted on the windows based server.
[ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ] is the Linux based server. On this server, we cant get the parser, banlist, server page and server_viewer page to work. When we try to update the ban stats, it stops at 9,187 every time. On the server page, we cant get it to show the server list. All other pages seem to work fine.

It looks to me like you have server problems that are only tangentially related to Nuke, if at all. If that's the case, well there are people here who might be able to help but this site is mostly for Ravennuke (and associated software) support. There are also "for hire" Forums here where you might be able to find someone who can help with a Linux server problem.

If I'm wrong about this being unrelated to Nuke, please feel free to correct me, I'm just going by what I can see on your sites.

Possible that those particular scripts aren't compatible with php5? If you or your host are able to (phpsuexec, etc), try to switch back to php4 and see if everything works again?

Another thing to consider is something that I've recently gone through. *nix systems are notoriously anal about capitalization, when referring to directories/files where Windows isn't. If you, like me, have made any minor changes in the scripts that are causing trouble, it might pay you to go over them and make sure that all your "Foo's" aren't "foo's" by mistake. Very Happy

Just a thought.

It doesn't seem to be a filename problem. I am working out the issue with his host, it is a configuration problem somewhere
